I made these a couple days ago and they are wonderful. I was raised on okra so I love it. It’s almost impossible to find fresh okra in Colorado so I used frozen whole okra. I thawed it out completely first using a paper towel to dry off excess water and it worked just fine. I will make these again and again.

I made these tonight, using cheddar cheese and subbing yogurt for the buttermilk (and GF flour). Both the 2 year old and 7 year old loved them! Okra isn’t our favorite vegetable but there were no leftovers. The only drawback is the house still smells like fried food.

I made these night before last. Okra and I definitely needed to have a heart to heart, especially a heart to heart with cheese as the mediator.

I liked them and so did my boyfriend. I was a bit put off by how slimy the okra in the middle of the fritters stayed, though.

One other note: the recipe (well, the blog post) says to experiment with different cheese. The poster made hers with many different cheeses. I used a cheddar/jack blend, but I think that between the flour and the frying, a sharper cheese is going to be best. I could barely taste the milder cheeses I used.

I will definitely make these again, though. They didn’t heal my relationship with okra completely but they were easy, good, and a nice change of pace! Great as a side with Cajun food.

Hi, Flour Girl! I’m still bumbling my way around, trying to figure out this site. I used cheddar, but it’s not imperative; use whatever cheese you like best!

I’m a Northerner so I don’t understand okra, it’s foreign to me, but these look drool-inducingly good and well worth a try – they look perfectly prepared (disguised) for a first timer like me!
